Everything you need to know about FlipSheet

Start with a free instant valuation, then generate an investor-grade Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) in about 60 seconds. Your business is listed on the FlipSheet marketplace with automated outreach to qualified buyers — no commission, no six-week wait.

A FlipSheet CIM costs $497. A traditional M&A broker typically charges $5,000–$10,000 for a comparable document and takes about six weeks to deliver it.

Your CIM is generated in roughly 60 seconds once you've completed the guided intake. That gets you listing-ready almost immediately — actual time to close still depends on buyer interest and due diligence, same as any sale.

The free valuation tool asks for your industry, location, revenue, and owner's take-home, then returns a realistic range based on current market multiples. No sign-up required.

FlipSheet focuses on Main Street businesses generally worth $500K–$5M — the profitable, owner-operated companies traditional M&A firms often pass on, like laundromats, HVAC companies, car washes, cleaning services, and auto repair shops.

Yes. That's the purpose of a CIM — it's structured specifically to control what financial and operational detail is shared, and with whom, before a buyer is qualified.

Browse the FlipSheet marketplace to see active listings across industries. Every listing is backed by the same financial and operational detail found in a full CIM, so you can evaluate cash-flowing businesses without digging for basic numbers.

Yes — that's the focus. Listings are profitable, owner-operated businesses in the $500K–$5M range, an alternative to ground-floor startups for buyers who want existing revenue and operating history from day one.

FlipSheet sends a weekly "Deals of the Week" email to its buyer network, highlighting new and active listings across industries as they come to market.

A CIM is the document serious buyers require before making an offer — typically 15–20 pages covering financials, operations, growth opportunities, and competitive positioning. Brokers usually charge around $10,000 to prepare one; FlipSheet generates it automatically from your answers to a guided questionnaire.

The core difference is the AI-generated CIM: instead of a bare listing page, buyers see investor-grade documentation comparable to what a $10,000 broker engagement would produce — generated in under a minute for $497.

No. The free valuation takes about 60 seconds and only asks for your industry, location, revenue, and owner's take-home — no account required.

No. FlipSheet is built for owners who'd rather not pay broker commissions. You control your own CIM and listing, with automated outreach to buyers handling the distribution work a broker would otherwise charge for.

A flat monthly fee means predictable costs and zero commission at close — the opposite of a success-fee model that takes 5–10% off your sale price. You pay $99/month while the listing is live and owe nothing when a deal closes.

A live marketplace listing, a FlipSheet AI Verified badge, an inquiry pipeline that routes qualified buyers straight to your inbox, and continued visibility until you sell or cancel — no contracts, no setup fees, no commissions.

FlipSheet drives organic buyer traffic through marketplace browsing, the weekly Deals of the Week email, and SEO, then forwards inquiries directly to you. You run the conversation, qualify buyers, and control the deal — there's no middleman.

Yes. One click in the Stripe customer portal cancels the renewal. Your listing stays active until the end of the current billing period, then goes inactive — no early-termination fee, no clawback, no questions asked.

No. There is no lock-in contract, no success fee, and no clawback. Cancel any time to stop future charges; re-subscribing later restores your listing and inquiry history exactly as you left them.
